My Life, My Music. My iPod.

Posted By Twyla on December 12, 2007 @ 3:53 am

Ever since I was a child, I have been in love with music.  It is to the point that everything event in my life can be represented by a song.  Sometimes I wish my life was like a movie – with a soundtrack, so there would never be a silent moment.

In order to keep music playing during my day, I rely on my iPod to fill that role.  I simply hook up my iPod to iTunes, pick the songs I want, and go.  No tricky interface, no headaches.

I also rely on my iPod classic accessories to give me the music when I want it.  I have expensive headphones, a good set of iPod speakers, and a portable charger in case my iPod battery dies during the day.

I even go to bed listening to music.  I begin and end my day with music.  In fact, I have come up with a mantra for my life:

My life, my music.  My iPod.




Upgrading to a New Mobile Phone

Posted By Twyla on November 11, 2007 @ 7:10 am

Now, I have an old mobile phone that I have had for about three years now.  Don’t laugh – I know most of you out there only keep your phones for an average of 18 months.  Personally I believe that I should keep the phone until it breaks or the battery no longer holds a charge.  Stepping on the phone by accident last night means that I am looking at a new one now.

Out of the latest mobile phones on the market the brand I am most comfortable with is Sony.  Specifically the Sony k850i caught my eye with it’s cool colors and integrated 5 MP camera.  It is hard to believe that my old phone never even had a camera – that will be one less gadget I have to carry with me.

Now, most of the reviews of the k850i have been favorable, but I have seen a few complaints about sending text messages on the phone.  For those of you out there that are text message sending machines, this may be important, but for me, I just need a phone and camera.

I am going to my mobile phone provider tomorrow to buy this new Sony phone.  I might need someone to help me figure it out though – when it comes to gadgets, I am not too good.  Anyone want to help a girl out?
